The Shakespeare Library

Listed are a few of Joe Sobrans writings on
Shakespeare, on productions of Shakespeare, and especially on
the Shakespeare authorship question, along with links to pieces not maintained on this site. Related pieces appear at the end of the list.

The primary text, of course, is Joes book,
Alias Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the publisher of the book is out of stock, and there is no availability date. We will be sure to alert you when the book is again available.

By the way, if any readers know of other essays by Joe on the Internet dealing with Shakespeare that are not listed below, please be sure to drop the webmaster a line. I think I have them all listed, but the Internet is quite vast and I could easily have missed one or two.
